Hi

I have searched this forum and MANY others for help with this problem, and as it appears that only spybot so far has picked up this problem I thought this would be the best place to post! My problem is this...

My friends puter did not have any antivirus protection and it started playing up (surprise surprise) so I installed their Norton antivirus software (yes they had it and didn't use it!) but it took a lot of hard work to get it to update and scan as the bugs were blocking any attempts! I managed to get it done though and between Norton, Spybot & AdAware I removed about 170 bugs/spyware/adware.

The problem is there is still something affecting their startup, so they can turn on their computer and use it for a little bit then it restarts. I went hunting for what could be in their startup that could be causing the problem and in the System Startup on Spybot I found 9 WinLogon's, 3 of which appear to be duplicates and when these are unticked the system runs fine. I have been looking for something to remove these, I found a post somewhere that suggests they are ABetterInternet, but the removal tool for this doesn't seem to work (btw, I have run all scans in safe mode also!). The details of all the WinLogons are as follows - the last three entries are the ones that appear to be causing the reboot:

KEY - VALUE - COMMAND LINE
WinLogon - crypt32chain - crypt32.dll
WinLogon - cryptnet - cryptnet.dll
WinLogon - cscdll - cscdll.dll
WinLogon - ScCertProp - wInotify.dll (note - due to fonts I am unsure as to whether this is an I or an L)
WinLogon - Schedule - wInotify.dll
WinLogon - sclgntfy - sclgntfy.dll
WinLogon - SensLogn - WINotify.dll
WinLogon - termsrv - wInotify.dll
WinLogon - wlballoon - wInotify.dll (again theese could be wlnotify (L/I))

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Lynda
